To bring some holiday cheer, some people teamed up with Amtrak to make this video at Chicago's Union Station. It's a whimsical, fun video (which will remind some people of Irma the mat the Magic Castle in Los Angeles), but I particularly enjoyed it because I love the Union Station. I love trains, period, but the Union Station is a grande dame of train stations, as much a museum as a mere dept, So that made it all the more wonderful. BobProof of loving the Union Station. I took this a year-and-a-half ago –

That's the photo. This below is the video.(I do wonder how many of those passersby were plants -- I'm sure some were, though I don’t think all of them. But still it is a treat.)
